Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) Chip?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have a Dell Inspiron 5160 Laptop with a Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU
2.80GHz
processor. What does the "Mobile" in the chip name mean? Does the chip
support wireless better than other chips? Do I need a wireless NIC?

Thanks,
